How to break in a brand new BMW M5 *crazy video*

[Transit Truck]

Hey come on people!!! For all you know, he could be doing a review for drive.com.au _2:

[Biggoggs]

Man, that camera work is shocking. I got on my high-horse at the guy behind the camera, all the shots were either crooked, off-centre, off-frame, out of focus, or bouncing around all over the place.

What the guy does with his car is up to him. Besides, it's a European-engineered sportscar (albeit a ridiculously expensive one) designed for a racetrack, a few burnouts and powerslides in the middle of nowhere, while rather pointless, isn't going to hurt anyone. Stop acting like a bunch of cranky old fogeys

Agreed.

But who cares. It wasn't someone you know, its not your car and no one was hurt.

Oh wait but they could of.... :

[Biggoggs]

Oh hey look what I found. Contrast that video with this one

Nice drifting, but even I wouldn't consider that a `good idea'

[EDManual]

Thats an awsome slide!! but, damn, he would want to be confident doing a slide like that! Imagine being the bloke coming the other way!!! Cool though!

That's the same clip I posted a link to in post # 33. Awesome power slide and control. But on a public road towards on coming traffic is very stupid.

5 and 10 cyl engines are an aquired taste, but does that thing scream or what?! Gotta love the powerslide & "split-@rse turn into donut and back again" (tm) he performs straight at the camera guy. I don't own tennis balls though, so wouldn't be standing there....

What a sweet sounding engine...and in the hands of a complete nut

Just the love of burnouts... seems everywhere there's a half dodgy burnout on the forums there's an E-series! :
(waits for the childish return of "urrrr at least my car can do a burnout and donuts...")

You have no idea where it is being done, FFS some people have been hit on the head with political correctness

Its an M5 getting a caining. Thats it relax.

Very mature mate, very mature. I'm also quite relaxed.

We don't know the story, but what would you do if someone chucked you the keys to a new M5 for an hour? I'm not saying you'd go and do the same thing, but some people have bigger balls than others.

I'm definitely saying I wouldn't do the same thing as him. Let him have his too-big balls, I'll keep my big brain and good health and go and drive it on a highway, it'd pretty much suck getting thrown the keys to one of those monsters here in Oz. Jail time when the fun begins in one of those. You'd be useless beyond first gear!!!

[Damo]

Haha, My EA can take a floggin like that so i'd sure hope an M5 could. Cool Video, I was hoping he 'd do a standstill. :

[Supa R00]

That was INSANE! how about that highspeed pass at about the 1.41min mark, absolutely nuts!!!

[GTS_300_Coupe]

some of you people need to lighten up. whos cares, the driver of the car had some fun.
as for everybody else, dont start abusing each other or this thread might get locked. _

[zetec]

Very true that. What we need is another video to take our minds off things... like something that brings a REAL tear to your eye...

[Psycho Chicken]

mmmmmmm axle tramp.

[PULLY6]

Insanely good driving. What a legend, a bloke actually having fun in a performance orientated .25 million $ car. Instead of the 50yo fogeys driving $250k cars at 40km/h.

Can drive, the last drift looked more like a weight shift slide though... only his undies will tell the story!

Nice work on dragging up a thread thats been dead since N O V E M B E R last year...
Have you tried this trick on Lady Di?

[2kool4u]

Damn that cars fast, and sounds Sweeeeet!!

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

He has more dollars than cents.

[UNR8D]

Have you tried this trick on Lady Di?

have you?? what was it like :P

damm thats one HOTT M5, good to see it driven the way its ment to be driven, had the keys to an E46 M3 for a few hours a month or so ago, didnt do anything as crazy but gave it a good squirt... if only our 4.0L were as smooth and powerfull as the 3.2L unit that powered it.... MMMMMM Droolz/

If i had such driving skills, i'd be going nuts when the road is empty. Late night stroll. But the guy driving it and the guys watching ever so closely have bloody huge balls do something like that. The one when he comes from the left and you can hear it screaching and then turns into a slide was awsome. I wish i was capable of doing something so huge.

he can't drive for ИИИИ - all of those 'burnouts' where he flicked the car around were most likely supposed to be doughnuts but the car ended up too close to the side of the road to continue going round - reminds me of a fish flailing about in the bottom of a boat.

the 'high speed drifts' were uncontrolled understeer that snapped into oversteer at the end, as engine power and weight shift overcame traction.

the guy is a wally, the car is absolutely awesome.
